Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 13.9 - 21.2, mean 16 °C (based on 156 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.7812 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01175 (0.00560 - 0.02463), b=3.04 (2.86 - 3.22), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.4 ±0.2 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
120179): Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Moderate to high vulnerability (46 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 31.4 [20.6, 60.6] mg/100g; Iron = 0.396 [0.250, 0.659] mg/100g; Protein = 18.4 [17.5, 19.2] %; Omega3 = 0.576 [0.351, 0.920] g/100g; Selenium = 15.8 [8.3, 30.4] μg/100g; VitaminA = 15.3 [4.8, 48.7] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.487 [0.361, 0.670] mg/100g (wet weight);
